How to make flowery things
As Valentine's Day approaches—or as you grow increasingly tired of gray skies and snowbanks—pretty, flowery projects sound like a good idea. Here are some tutorials from around the internet:
Felt flower clips by A Hoot and a Holler (pictured above)
Rose barrettes at The Purl Bee
Crochet flower pattern by Salihan Crafts
Crochet flower pattern by Attic24 (pictured below)
Flowers made from zippers at Martha
Floral embroidery pattern at Vintage Transfer Finds (as well as how to use it)
Flowers made from ribbon at Make It Do

"Gray skies and snowbanks"... and BLIZZARDS! Another one today. *sigh*
Flowers... YES! I need flowers!!! REAL ones, growing outside... and green grass (even if I do have to mow it). Even a touch of sunshine would help. *sigh*
My word verification is "bighter". I think they meant "brighter". *sigh*
P.S. Don't quote me on the "mowing" part next summer, okay?
Beautiful Projects! I love your blog.
You have to look up Attic24's crochet flowers, absolutely adorable!
Meg, eeeek, so cute! I added it to the post!
Perfect timing -I HAD to buy myself some flowers yesterday because I am just so tired of gray skies & snow!

Beautiful tutorial and love your blog. Keep blogging and thanks.
Great ideas! I really need to try the felted flower.. I did one a while back and it just came out weird. That one looks way better than the one I made.
Awesome projects. While reading, I realised that your blog contains good and informative contents. Keep blogging and thanks for sharing.
I just finished a pillow using one of the flower embroidery patterns. It turned out very sweet.
Thank you for the link!

You always do this to me! I've been following your blog since I started out and you always end up on my sidebar "To do list" These are some great links as always!
I just made a fabric flower bouquet for my Grandmother for Christmas from a borrowed tutorial. She absolutely loved them.

Thanks for all you fabulous ideas!
I love felt. I don't understand why more people don't use it. Thank you for sharing this. I wonder if my cricut machine cuts felt....
Thank you, what an awesome list! I'm definitely going to make some of those felt ones at craft night tonight.
Your post inspired me to create me own with some bookmarks I've been hoarding/meaning to get around to. It'll be up on my blog tomorrow.
